Marie and Amelia Laca grew up in Golconda, Nevada where one of the speaker's parents owned the Morning Star Hotel. There appear to be additional unidentified speakers participating in the interview, as well. Their parents were from both sides of the Pyrenees, including Aldude and Urepel in Benafarroa and Berriatua in Bizkaia. They recall a time when Basque immigrants and their families were subject to prejudice and how it felt to be Basque then. They remember the Morning Star Hotel and the parties they used to have, as well as the Sunday visits, chores and pastimes. Marie also recalls spending 3 months in sheep camp. The immigration stories of
their parents are also included in this interview.
